USB 2.0 A–B cable ShiverPeaks 1.0 m, High Speed, gold-plated contacts, white

ShiverPeaks USB 2.0 A–B cable, 1.0 m length, provides a straightforward connection for High Speed USB data transfer between a host computer and USB-B peripherals. The cable features a standard USB-A connector on one end and a USB-B connector on the other, with gold-plated contacts to enhance contact reliability and resist corrosion. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for both office and home setups.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 2.0 High Speed data rates, enabling reliable transfer of files and commands between computers and devices such as printers, scanners and external drives. Gold-plated contacts reduce the risk of signal degradation and ensure stable electrical contact over repeated insertions. The 1.0 m length balances reach and cable management in typical desktop and workstation environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to desktop or laptop computers
• Linking scanners to a host computer for image capture and document scanning
• Connecting external hard drives or optical drives that use a USB-B port
• Workstation and office setups where a short, reliable USB-B link is required

Key specifications

• USB standard: USB 2.0 High Speed compatible
• Connector types: USB-A (standard) to USB-B
• Cable length: 1.0 metre
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance
• Colour: white jacket suitable for office and home environments

How to use

Insert the USB-A connector into an available USB port on the host computer and plug the USB-B connector into the peripheral device. Ensure both ends are fully seated to establish a secure connection. The cable does not require drivers; the operating system will detect and enumerate compatible USB 2.0 devices automatically. For devices that support only USB 1.1, the connection will operate at the lower speed supported by those devices.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable or running it parallel to power cables for long distances. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure gold-plated contacts remain clean. Use the 1.0 m length for close-proximity setups; choose a longer cable if additional reach is necessary.
